Technology transfer and cost structure of clean development mechanism projects: an empirical study of Indian cases

Climate cooperation from Kyoto to Paris: What can be learnt from the CDM experience?

“…As an additional data source, we consult the data provided by IGES, which have been largely used in the field of CDM analysis, as for example in assessing the impact on international technology transfer [43] and estimation of abatement cost under the CDM [44]. These data provide additional information on CDM projects, including the timeline of average amount of annual emissions reductions and the issued CERs.…”

Financial and environmental efficiency of CDM projects: Analysis and classification for investment decisions

“…In the same way, other stakeholders, concerned with the environmental return, will be interested in developing projects that have a great capacity to reduce emissions to the maximum with the resources that have been employed. These aspects are also of scientific interest, and several studies were dedicated to better understanding the performance of this kind of projects, using different approaches, like the capacity to generate CERs as in Koo (2017), the internal rate of return (IRR) as in Carmichael et al (2016), and Monteiro et al (2021), or the abatement costs, like Simon et al (2017).…”

EEPS special issue on “Enhancing renewable energy and energy efficiency: Japanese and US policies with implications for Asia”

“…One objective of the CDM is the transfer of low carbon technology such as renewable energy or energy efficiency. Simon et al (2016) examine the impact of technology transfer under CDM in India. Although India is the second largest host of CDM, the share of the CDM projects that involve technology transfer is the lowest among the top four CDM host countries.…”
